92. The Church of The Living God

1 Built on the Rock,
Without spot or wrinkle,
Is the Church of the Living God;
Born of the Spirit,
Filled with His glory
‘Tis the way the Apostles trod.

Refrain:
Built on the Rock, on the Solid Rock,
Is the Church of the Living God;
The gates of Hell can never prevail,
For ‘tis built on the Solid Rock.

2 Built on the Rock,
Rock revealed to Peter,
It will stand ev’ry raging storm;
Jesus the head,
We the living body,
We are safe from all earthly harm. [Refrain]

3 Built on the Rock,
And ‘twill stand forever,
It is God’s earthly government;
To shine on earth,
And draw Saints togather,
Holy Spirit to earth was sent. [Refrain]

4 Built on the Rock,
And in the One body,
‘Tis the Bride of the Lamb once slain;
The Church of God,
The pure spotless Virgin,
She will forever with Him reign. [Refrain]
